Hi,
I tried Pylint today and it gave me a warning for the function
"filter". Is it deprecated?
This post from Guido written in 2005 with an undated update would seem
to indicate No.

Is the usage of list comprehensions encouraged?
Yes -- it's considered more pythonic in general, but I see generators
often (over?) deployed as well due in part I think to their lazy evaluation.

The transformation is not complicated, by the way:
replace "filter( func, seq )" with "[ x for x in seq if func(x) ]" .
Thanks,
Laszlo
